Hello,

a question about the pecl.php.net site that might be stopping server upgrades.

The extension download URL endpoint is:
https://pecl.php.net/get/operator

This is a PHP proxy download script that do some checks and outputs
non standard header for Apache webserver and mod_xsendfile to offer a
direct file download as it was a static file. That way there is very
little performance overhead and option that request goes through a PHP
script.

However, this mod_xsendfile isn't maintained anymore. And installation
on today's Linux distros might not be so trivial anymore without
patching the module's C code and compiling it manually. Overall, I'm
not sure if using non standard Apache modules here is a good approach
for production. Not to mention the portability of the app for the
local testing environments.

What would be the absolute right way to go here? A PHP only proxy
downloader endpoint would be sufficient? Do you think performance
would suffer greatly?
